This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
several things you should know about WRITE ROM: (a) no formatting commands
available in the automatic page footer/header func tion (b) no formatting
commands available in the much-touted LIBRARY function (c) headers and footers
always print outside the margins (!) and figuring out top and bottom margins is
an exercise in "newspeak". (d) limited support for printerfeatures in
built-in/programmable printer areas (e) documentation carefully avoids
mentionning these curiosities. Very unPCSG like. The above comments relate to
v. 1.3, which I just returned after an all-night try out. However, it doeswork
just like the manual says it will. I'm waiting for v 1.x. regards, s. lenkowsky
